My wife and I have a 3 year old Beagle. We are pretty big animal people, particularly dogs, and would probably have a couple more if we had the room right now. I don't know about you guys, but our pet is basically a member of our family...we basically treat him like our child .

As of right now I don't have any pets since my parents won't allow me to have any pets while I'm living with them. In the past when I was younger I had:My dog Shadower who was a black labador and died in 1995-96. Two hamsters (both died after a few months) Snowball and Furball (I think)A rat

In high school I made money raising farm animals like Beef Steers and Lambs and selling them at acutions.Three steers names were:Bart, Manica (Pyscho, Saddam, Mabbus and a couple of other names) and the last one TarI only named one of my lambs, Lambert.

My little Gracie rat had to have a mammary tumour removed last Friday, but she’s recovered really well and is almost at full power again. But she still has moments when she gets really tired and I have a chance to take cute pictures of her like this one:

That's great news Robb! Glad to hear your Gracie is doing well. My four cats are just like our babies, and it's so stressful and depressing when they're not doing well like that. One of our cats almost died because it swallowed part of a cat toy. It cost $800 to have this piece of rubber removed from his stomach (surgically). He's all good now, but that whole moment scared the hell out of my wife and I.

Here's a picture of the cat I'm talking about (see below). He hopped into our dryer right after it stopped. He does that all the time.

This is the newest addition to our little family Some may remember my little dog that ate some SW items well he had to go and this is his replacement. I liked the name Vader so I kept it. He's 7 weeks old here, pure bred German Shepherd

Shirley and I had to put down one of dogs a few days ago. Her name was BooBoo. She 16 or 17 years old.Blind with cataracts, deaf and she couldn't control herself anymore when it came to going to the bathroom, if you know what I mean.

She was about the most loving animal I ever had..

Then just before that we lost one of cats. He got outaccidentally. Haven't seen him since. I'm hoping he comes back as the song says...
